FreeBSD system beep and dual monitor setup

I am using PCBSD on my R60 laptop, and turning off system beep was even easier than using kbdcontrol -b off or sysctl.

I simply used the Bell Settings from the KDE menu, and setted volume to 0, simple and effective! The sound system still works like a charm.

I have giving up on setting up dual monitor, with our TV, as everything I found so far points toward a lot of xorg.conf tweaking, something I just dont want to spend my time on!
I have decided that my next laptop must have dual output, eg. a VGA or DVI, and then I just might give it a shot.

I still hope to find a way to change back and forth with the R60 VGA output from laptop to TV. That would be nice to have!
